• Contrary to popular belief, X most certainly has never heard or studied any

certainly has never plagiarized or shamelessly ripped-off any of their

• After a long time of banishing celebrities to the farthest regions of the

• Uncyclopedia gives following description about this organization
“According to Harvard Professor of Social History Miley Ray Cyrus, X began
in the dawn of the 1980's when people demanded something new to
complain about. It was founded by actor Ingrid "Jamie" Newkirk in 1980 as
an civil-strike faction of Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin.
• Her activism began as a member of the Parent Teacher Association. "I was
originally part of the Parent Teacher Association. But one day at a
meeting, I suddenly realized that didn't make sense. I stood up and asked,
'What the hell does that mean? What kind of treatment?' Everybody
looked at me really strangely, but nobody had an answer." So Newkirk
started a new group by adding an "E" to the acronym.
• Ingrid Newkirk later ran into serious doubts, even to the point of
considering becoming a meat eater. She learned that the 20th century's
most prominent vegetarian led a band of racists, hatemonger's, torturers,
rapists & murderers. But when she discovered that Adolph Hitler also
wore woolen underwear, she immediately seized it. "Itchy underwear
would make anyone cranky," she said. "Fur made the Führer.“

• Article on Y:
• X is a website that parodies Y. It was founded in 2001, when it began its
goal of spreading the world's misinformation in the most inconspicuous
way possible. For this reason, academic experts strongly urge students not
to cite X The English version has over twelve million pages, most of them
capitalization redirects.
• Only one vehicle for article humor is employed at X: actual information.
However, much of the behind-the-scenes aspects of Y are also parodied,
from the abundance of maintenance templates to the system for rating
articles. Like Y, X has guidelines regarding what is and is not acceptable
content, and these guidelines have become exceedingly long and complex
as a parody of Y's comparatively simple rules.
• X has been known to be very reliable. And of course, people who copy-
paste from X's articles always get full marks for their assignments.
• While all other wikis except Y succumbed to the allure of easy money a
long time ago, Jim is determined to keep X free from advertisements of
any sort. Although, they didn't deny the possibility of advertising
themselves on their Main Page. Identify X & Y.

• Article in Uncyclopeida : Captain X is a superhero — one of the people who fight bad
guys, supervillains, and assorted evil-doers. The prefix "Captain", however, is purely
symbolic. Although the “X" part of Captain X's name is certainly true. Captain X does
not hold the rank of Captain.
• Though Captain X vehemently denies this (over and over), some suggest that Captain X
and Mr. X are the same person.
• His comic book line sold out its first three issues, but sales quickly plummeted due to
what readers complained was 'predictable writing.' These days he fills in minor roles,
usually uttering phrases such as "That asteroid is heading straight toward us!" or "If we
don't defuse this hydrogen bomb, the whole city will be destroyed!“
• Captain X has also tried predicting the future. Here are a few examples of his
predictions.
“People all over the world will have to purchase a new calendar within the next twelve
months.”
“Someone will die today.”
“Someone will be born today.”
“Tomorrow will be another day.”
“The future is coming.”

• “Quite unquestionably the best alcohol
originating in India and amongst the best dark

• Description on Samosapedia:
• Derived from the Urdu original 'kharcha-e-paandan'
which was like the allowance money (or pin money as
the firnags called it) that was given to a wife marrying
into a wealthy Muslim family. The literal translation
would be 'money for the paandan (paandan is where
you keep your gear to make paan), a politer way of
saying allowance.
Over time the paandan got replaced by X for some
reason.
Modern usage can mean giving someone anything
from a ghoos to a good thulping.

make a broken plane fly, defunct TV play
program, rusting car run like a limo, ailing
patience sprint like Ben Johnson. Most
importantly, it can get you admission in almost all
the colleges in the country. If in India, when even

• Description on Samosapedia:
• “It does not have any equivalent word in English.
Some justifiable synonyms would be: Level,

person in questions ability to do something out of
the ordinary. It could be a fist fight, a physically
challenging task, quitting ones job, mimicking the
boss behind his back in a meeting.”

• When Rama returned to Ayodhya after the
battle of Lanka and was about to be crowned
as king, Laxmana, of all people , did not
(rather, could not) witness his crowning. Why?
59. Answer
• "On the first night in the forest, Laxman kept watch while Ram and Sita
went to sleep. That is when Nidra, the goddess of sleep, approached him.
He begged the goddess to leave him alone for 14 years so that he could
guard his brother and sister-in-law night and day. The goddess, impressed
by his act of filial devotion, agreed. But the law of nature demanded that
someone bear the burden of Laxmana’s share of sleep. Nidra went to
Urmila, who agreed to bear Laxmana's share of sleep for 14 years.
After the war of Lanka, when the coronation cermony of Rama starts,
Laxman began to laugh. When asked, he replied “I have waited for this
moment for the past 14 years and just when I am about to witness Ram
being crowned king, the goddess of sleep, Nidra, reminds me of our
agreement 14 years ago, and demands that I submit to her this very
moment, and go to sleep and let Urmila awaken. I find the irony of the
situation hilarious.”
So Laxman dozed and Urmila woke up to see Ram crowned king."
